Answer
Correct choice: (D)
正确答案:(D)
Solution
Answer (D): By the Pythagorean Theorem, $AC=10$, so $AM=5$. Triangles $AME$ and $ABC$ are similar, so $\frac{ME}{AM}=\frac{6}{8}$ and $ME=\frac{15}{4}$. The area of $\triangle AME$ is $\frac{1}{2}\cdot 5 \cdot \frac{15}{4}=\frac{75}{8}$.
答案(D):由勾股定理,$AC=10$,所以 $AM=5$。三角形 $AME$ 与 $ABC$ 相似,因此 $\frac{ME}{AM}=\frac{6}{8}$,并且 $ME=\frac{15}{4}$。$\triangle AME$ 的面积为 $\frac{1}{2}\cdot 5 \cdot \frac{15}{4}=\frac{75}{8}$。
